PRESS RELEASE

HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 18, 2008: Since becoming a spring 2008 addition to the Sunday morning line-up of talk shows on Clear Channel Communication's top news radio station in Houston, "Texas Home Improvement with Jim Dutton" has enjoyed unparalleled success. On Sept. 6, the show will expand to Saturday afternoons from noon to 2 p.m., while continuing its Sunday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. broadcasts.

KTRH-AM 740

"Moving across town to KTRH was the single-most important thing we've done since we started five years ago in one radio market. Program Director Bryan Erickson and all the great folks at Clear Channel rolled out the red carpet for us and made us welcome," commented radio host and home repair expert Jim Dutton.

"Texas Home Improvement with Jim Dutton" airs each weekend in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and Tyler-Longview, as Jim provides practical advice, recommendations and referrals to listeners calling in with home improvement questions.

"People just love Jim and the help he gives when they get stuck on a project and don't know what to do," remarked Executive Producer Brian McFarling. "Listening to Jim is like having a wise contractor friend ... someone you can talk to before you get in too deep. He's like a friendly neighbor you can talk to over the 'virtual backyard fence' and get helpful answers to your questions. It helps them, and it helps everyone else who is listening. Now there will be thousands more joining in the conversation, thanks to KTRH!"

A 30-year veteran contractor and owner of statewide DuWest Foundation Repair, Jim Dutton is known for his integrity, honesty and solid, practical, and often money-saving advice. No question is off-limits, according to Jim.

"I find that we have people of every age group, race and gender calling in to the show. We get just as many women callers as we do men, with questions that range from what type of radiant barrier to buy, roofing, plumbing, siding, AC, painting ... you name it, they ask it." said Dutton.

During the beginnings of the mortgage crisis, Jim was featured as an expert on home remodeling to improve the resale value of your home and as a Gulf Coast Hurricane Preparedness expert during the KTRH morning news. Mr. Dutton was also one of two Main Stage speakers at this summer's Houston Home Show at the George R. Brown Convention Center, with a "live" broadcast of Texas Home Improvement during the expo.
